Compagnie Soi en Scène, La Dette

With La dette, Franck Chevallay combines humour and economics in a one-man show that is as funny as it is instructive. The result of a collaboration with researchers, this show takes a witty and biting look at our financial system.

Following on from his show Banque centrale (a madcap journey behind the scenes of money and banking), Franck Chevallay is back with a second instalment that's just as hard-hitting. It's a choice piece of seriously funny humour in which this all-round playwright, who has tamed the concepts of economics, delivers the meat of the matter. The play is the result of a scientific and artistic collaboration with researchers from the BETA laboratory (Bureau d'Économie Théorique et Appliquée). La dette is a hilarious and instructive one-man show that tells you everything you need to know about the not-so-clean underbelly of our economic system, and dares you to wrinkle your nostrils at a world where what doesn't smell isn't necessarily a rose...
